L.T. Rich Products Z-Spray Owner's Manual - page 12
This attachment is used mostly for your NON-TURF friendly products such as Round Up
and other total kill products, but can also be used for selective products.
~ Foam Marking Kit (part # 80907-60 or 80930-Foam) – This attachment allows a unit
to mark the turf and make the operator aware of where the product was just applied. The
foam marker drop nozzle is installed at the end of the spray booms and disperses foam
droplets 12” in from the outer spray pattern. Important maintenance practice for this foam
marker is to daily run warm water through the system to dissolve any leftover residue.
When storing unit or not using foam marker, store foam marker tank empty and without
water to limit residue buildup.
SECTION 4
SPRAYER/SPREADER OPERATIONS
4.1
Overview
The L T Rich Products sprayer and spreader can be operated either together or
individually (spray liquid and spread granular at the same time or separately). Regardless
of your situation, make sure that unit is running at full throttle (this will create proper
hydraulic pressure to the hopper motor and proper charge voltage back to the battery).
~ Sprayer – The spray system has the ability to spray in 3 sections of the boom. The
wing booms (left and right) each have their own nozzles creating a 24” liquid path on
either side. The middle boom is equipped with 3 nozzles covering a 72” liquid path. The
3 valves can be operated individually (left, right or middle) or simultaneously together to
create a 10’ pattern. Total spray pattern options consist of a 2’ path (either boom wing),
6’ path (center section), 8’ path (center and a boom wing) or 10’ path (all 3 valves in the
down position).
Creating pressure to these nozzles is done through the Throttle Valve. Threading the
Throttle Valve in (picture below left) will create pressure to either the boom nozzles or
the hose reel. Threading the Throttle Valve out (picture below middle) will bring
pressure to the tank(s) and create agitation. If threading the Throttle Valve in does not
create the desired pressure, check your In-line filter housing and make sure that the
gasket is present and the housing is screwed on tight. If desired pressure is still not
achieved, pressure adjustments can be made at the pump (pictured below right).
Clockwise turns create more pressure and counter-clockwise turns decrease pressure.
